Rivoceranib in Patients With Metastatic Thymic Epithelial Tumor

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a medication called Rivoceranib to see how well it works and how safe it is for patients with a type of cancer known as metastatic thymic epithelial tumors. These tumors can spread beyond the thymus gland and can be challenging to treat, especially if the cancer has not responded to the first round of treatment. The trial aims to find out if Rivoceranib can help patients whose cancer has continued to grow after their initial therapy.

To participate in this trial, patients need to be at least 19 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of metastatic thymic epithelial tumor. They should have measurable tumors and not be candidates for surgery. Participants will take Rivoceranib until their cancer worsens, they experience significant side effects, or they choose to stop the treatment. Throughout the study, doctors will monitor the participants closely with scans every couple of months to see how well the treatment is working. This trial is not yet recruiting, so patients interested in this option will need to wait until the study begins.
